PSS vs SSS in LTE
This tutorial section on LTE basics covers following sub topics:
Main page features terminologies Frame TDD FDD Channel types PHY stack throughput VoLTE
CA cell search network entry Timers PSS vs SSS Security LTE Bands EARFCN Hotspot router
This page describes Primary Synchronization Signal(PSS) and Secondary Synchronization Signal(SSS)
sequences used in LTE system.It provides comparison between PSS and SSS as per LTE standard.
Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) Sequences

05/02/2016 PSS,SSS in LTE | primary and Secondary synchronization Signal LTE
• Three PSS sequences are used in LTE, corresponding to the three physical layer identities within each
group of cells.
• The PSS is constructed from a frequencydomain ZC sequence of length 63.
• Transmitted on 6th symbol of slot 0 and slot10 of each radio frame on 72 subcarriers centered around
DC.

Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) Sequences
• SSC1 and SSC2 are two codes are two different cyclic shifts of a single length31 M sequence.
• Each SSS sequence is constructed by interleaving, in the frequencydomain, two length31 BPSK
modulated secondary synchronization codes
• Two codes are alternated between the first and second SSS transmissions in each radio frame
• This enables the UE to determine the 10 ms radio frame timing from a single observation of a SSS
• Transmitted on 5th symbol of slot 0 and slot10 of each radio frame on 72 subcarriers centered around
DC.
PSS carries physical layer identity (NID)(2)
SSS carries physical layer cell identity group (NID)(1)
Cell identity is computed using (NID)cell = 3*NID(1) + NID (2) ,
Where (NID)(1) = 0,1,.....,167 and (NID)(2) = 0,1,2
